A thick nail has pressed into my car tire, the tire still holding air.

Should I go to the Mazda dealer or where is a good place to vulcanize the tire?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Across the road from Tesco Chaweng a good tyre place.They will fix it for you.

I think that most larger tyre places vulcanize tyres.


I have used the one on the ring road - opposite Bandon Hospital, Chaweng

Glad to hear it got fixed.

Your puncture, I mean.

You got your punctured tyre patched. Good oh!

Cos sure as sh*t it wasn't Vulcanised!

Vulcanization or vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulfur[1] or other equivalent "curatives" or "accelerators". These additives modify the polymer by forming crosslinks (bridges) between individual polymer chains.[2][3] Vulcanized materials are less sticky and have superior mechanical properties.[4] A vast array of products are made with vulcanized rubber including tires, shoe soles, hoses, conveyer belts and hockey pucks. The process is named after Vulcan, Roman god of fire

Over here we get nongs with rubber cement, sticky patches and big bowls of water to check for bubbles. The Roman god of fire has yet to get a franchise!

I am not so sure about that one Rob.

When I had my tyre 'done', I had to wait more than 40 minutes for the 'heating process' etc His English and my Thai meant that the actual process was not fully descibed. It did involve 'cooking' the tyre though. (That is pretty close to the God of Fire?)

I do admit that I did not see any conveyer belts and hockey pucks being fixed.

Yes - that's the real thing all right! Well burst my bananas. I bow humbly to my revealed lack of knowledge.

I've never heard of it here or knew it existed.

I shall learn from this.

On the other hand, my two rear tyres cost 600 baht for the pair, quite used, so personally I'll be heading for the nong with the bicycle patches!
